EA will implement this feature with the new High School Years Expansion, but it will be available to everyone.

We already knew what The Sims 4 wanted to represent. all kinds of groups. Therefore, the DLC’s ‘Yes I do!’ at the gates of its launch, EA considered not allowing it to be downloaded in Russia due to the country’s homophobic policies. The publisher eventually reversed this decision and continued to develop features such as announced today: choose sexual orientation from our Sims.

The Sims 4 allows you to change your sexual orientation with a combination of different options.As we read on the EA blog, the new Expansion Pack High School Yearswill provide an update for all players that will allow us to decide on the sexual orientation of the characters. few options. Considering that technical limitations do not allow adding more than two genres to the game, the developer decided to improve inclusivity in other ways.

As you can see in the picture above these lines, the Create a Sim mode offers three new options. Before everything, ‘This sim is romantically appealing‘ will allow us to decide the gender that will concern our character, but they assure us from EA that this option may be expanded in the future with the inclusion of more alternatives.

The second option is ‘My sim explores romantically‘ causes the avatar to have no defined preference and thus to interest the two existing genders in The Sims 4. Finally, ‘My Sim is interested in WooHooing‘ gives us the ability to choose the genders our sim would like to have sex with. This update will allow you to perform different actions. combinationsbecause if our sim is aromantic but only interested in maintaining close relationships with a close character, we can have a friendship with friction right.

Considering that this update will arrive at the same time as the High School Years DLC, it looks like we’ll start changing the sexual orientation of our sims on July 28. This is set as one more step for EA. improve inclusiveness because it has been releasing patches that introduced special pronouns in The Sims 4 in recent months.
